English is a stress-timed language
In English some words sound different when they are said on their own than they do when they are said as part of a sentence. That is why English is a stress-timed language. That means some syllables will be longer, and some will be shorter according to their importance in the sentence. The unstressed words are called "function words" and, on the other hand, the most important words of the sentence, which provide more information, are called "content words"
In contrast, Spanish is a syllable-timed language, which means each syllable has the same length.
Importance of sound-letter correspondence
Sound-letter correspondences are the relationship between sounds or phonemes and letters or graphemes.
Knowledge of sound-letter relationships means knowing, for example, that the sound /s/ can be represented by more than one letter: "s" as in "soft" and "c" as in "city".
What is Phonemic Awareness?
Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify, segment and blend individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
It is important because it improves students' word reading and comprehension and it helps students learn to spell
